Where is the parallel branch a valid selection within a Flow?

I'd like to use a Parallel Branch to initiate an approval for several users, but I need to check a condition first.  I can see the option for parallel branch at the beginning of the flow, but I can't seem to make that option appear inside the condition. It seems there are some rules that dictate when you can and when you cannot create a parallel branch. What are those rules?

    You can see in my screenshot I have a parallel branch within the 'IF YES' condition. You just can't have it be the first thing in the condition. Which is stupid.

    I managed to get multiple parallel branches in my flow:

     

     

    When you click on the + just above an exsiting action you will get the option to add a parallel branch.

      Hi Pieter Veenstra, thanks for that, but what I really need is to add one in "Yes" branch of a condition. I've been able to get around it by creating a secondary flow and exposing it via an HTTP trigger. But I wish I didn't have to do that.

        I just found the same problem. I believe this to be a bug. If you put an action (i did a send email) as the first thing in the condition branch, THEN you will see the option for a parallel branch:
